New Futurama on Sky One

I cannot believe that no-one has mentioned that Sky One seem to have been running these for weeks!

I only spotted it today because I turned over early for the new Simpsons episode.

I bet it'll be ages before they repeat all the episodes I've missed.

Futurama just does nothing for me, I really enjoy them Simpsons but could not get into Futurama for some reason.

Futurama really grows on you after watching the individual episodes a couple of times. The writing and humour are both sharper then The Simpsons...

Gaz

probably because they arent very good.

nope theyve been repeating them again during the week already,

probably be on Sky2 before the end of the month Aw

I'd still like the chance to judge that for myself, though.

Yes, but only the latest episodes - not the ones I missed weeks ago.

That's a controversial statement to make on this newsgroup. :)

Fred X

no theyve definately repeated Benders big score just recently on the midweek re-runs, whilst they were showing the Beast with a Billion Backs episodes on the Sunday.

might still be available on Skyplayer. but Im sure theyll repeat it over Christmas.

ISTR it's only the two feature length movies chopped up into 4 parts each. I may well be wrong on this though!

I've seen the first two films already and am working my way through the third (Bender's Game). I can never get round to watching it all in one go so have indulged in 15-min segments most nights before drifting into the land of nod. Great stuff, too.

All available online in the usual places :)

no Sky are showing them exactly how Matt Groening wanted to do these new movies and are exactly how they were shown on Comedy Central

Groening explained the format of the new stories: "[The crew is] writing them as movies and then we're going to chop them up, reconfigure them, write new material and try to make them work as separate episodes."

Aw

New material into the episodic versions?

Anyhoo, sticking them on at 6pm when they're 12-certs is just asking for cuts, so don't sit corrected, Mike, stand up and... erm... sit down and download the uncensored version :)

yep you know like episode intros like "...previously on Futurama" and stuff :)

I like Futurama, but saw no point in paying the rip-off DVD prices...

When was the first part shown, anyway?

Thanks - Digiguide didn't pick up those.

Futurama DVDs are usually worth the money just for the extras. (Although I don't know what they're like on the new ones... hopefully Santa will help me out there...)

I thought the first and second series box sets were good for the commentaries, but for the third series I really got the sense that they were just going trough the motions and putting no effort in at all. Haven't bothered with the 4th series.

Haven't seen the films yet.

Early afternoon? Oh, hello Mr Censor! :(

Not picked up, as it didn't state 'Season 6'.

This one was, but the episode number is confusing.

In case there is confusion about this, Futurama the show on TV ended at season 4, even tho there were five seasons. Due to all the pre-empts, there were enough eps in the can to do a 5th season...but chronologically, there are only four seasons.

All four movies when put together as indeividual eps will amount to the 5th season.

The production codes are more telling than those "5 obvious blocks", though... and AFAICT, they were released in 4 volumes in the US, too:

Yes - but I set Digiguide to pick up only new episodes/seasons of shows I like, otherwise I get pages of repeats.

I'll record both transmissions, just in case...

In 'My TV'

If that's what 'My TV' uses, then yes.
